I’m not sure how much automation you’re looking for, but you can export FileMaker data to HTML tables, then open the file and clean it up in a tool like DreamWeaver. If you need a more automatic approach, you can use the XML export feature to produce custom HTML from your record data. It is a little complicated at first, but the sky’s the limit with that approach, and the whole thing could be scripted to easily recreate the site as needed.

The trouble is that FileMaker never knows the boxes were checked unless you submit the form in some ways. The simple solution is just to ask your users to click a “Save” button before changing pages, but that is obviously not a very good solution.

The slickest way to do this is with so-called Ajax. You can set it up so that when they click the checkbox, it immediately saves to the database, which works really well in practice. But it is a little complicated, especially if you are new to Ajax-style web development.

I don’t have enough space here to do it proper justice, unfortunately. But the gist is that you want to have a javascript “onchange” handler on the checkbox that calls a Javascript function. This function would then formulate a proper PHP page url, and hit it using XMLHttpRequest. To keep things clean, you probably want to disable the checkbox before you hit the server, and then re-enable it once the change is saved. This prevents the user from clicking it repeatedly and causing some problematic race conditions.

I am a big fan of the Prototype javascript library, which makes all this stuff a lot easier. Assuming you have Prototype in the mix, your javascript function would look roughly like this:

function save_checkbox(field, recordid)
{
   field.disabled = true;
   new Ajax.Request("save_checkbox.php", {
      parameters: Form.serialize(field.up("FORM")),
      onSuccess: function() {
         field.disabled = false;
      },
      onFailure: function() {
         alert("Could not save checkbox!");
         field.disabled = false;
         field.checked = !field.checked;
      }
   });
}

On the checkbox end of things, you would need to wrap each checkbox in a form that has the appropriate information for your PHP page (like the record ID). You also add your onchange handler (which in this example uses the “bind” capability from Prototype to easy things up):

   <form>
      <input type="hidden" name="record_id" value="...">
      <input type="checkbox" name="check" value="..." onchange="save_checkbox.bind(this);">
   </form>

This code is all “off the top of the head” so it may be a bit wrong, but hopefully it gets you going in the right direction.

Another nice enhancement is to show a “saving…” type message next to the checkbox while it is being saved so the user knows what is going on. This can be done easily by showing an HTML element in the save_checkbox function, and then hiding it again in the onSuccess and onFailure handlers.

I know this is all a bit terse, but if you dive in and review the examples from the prototype web site you should be able to get it working very nicely.
